Office of Representative Talleyrand

[SWE]

Endorsed!

[Talleyrand]

I will be traveling for much of the next 2 to days, so my activity might be spotty or nonexistent during that time. I encourage everyone who has not already voted to go out and cast a vote in the regional and federal elections.

This really should be "Elect Former Governor Talleyrand"

[Talleyrand]

Congratulations, Governor-elect.

Thank you!

The competitiveness of the Assembly election has been a pleasant surprise, despite the initial lack of candidates on the ballot. I still plan to introduce an amendment to alter Assembly membership, although now I am fairly doubtful of a permanent reduction to three members.

I think I will be taking office in a week, and am excited to work with the new Assembly,

This really should be "Elect Former Governor Talleyrand"

IIRC, I was only Governor for about a week and a half, although I suppose that could have been a better title for the thread.

[Flake]

Congratulations, I'm very happy you won!

[SWE]

Congratulations!

[Talleyrand]

Thank you all again.

I would like to congratulate Senators Bore, Yankee, TNF, and DC on their re-elections and offer my commiserations to their challengers, Deus, Maxwell, RR1997, Madman Motley, and Ben, who all ran spirited campaigns. Congratulations also go out to President-elect DemPGH and Vice President-elect Windjammer, along with condolences for Governors SirNick and Dallasfan, who ran a good campaign but fell slightly short of a win.

The Pacific Race appears too close to call, so I won't comment on that yet.

[Barnes]

Even though I couldn't vote in the elections, I wish you the best of luck as you take office.

[Adam Griffin]

Congratulations!

[Maxwell]

Congrats friend!

[Cranberry]

Congratulations!

[TNF]

Congratulations comrade!

[Talleyrand]

Thanks again.

Congratulations to SWE, Napoleon, Mr. X, BaconBacon96, and Rpryor on their wins in the Assembly election. I am sad to see Dr. Cynic, a friend, lose narrowly and hope he continues to stay active in Atlasia, and wish the same for JoMCaR.

[Dr. Cynic]

I'm fine to lose, quite frankly. If I'm not wanted, no need to stick around after all, quite frankly. Besides, I'm running for the at-large Senate seat. Hey, if I lose that, I'll probably take my leave.

Congrats on your win. I'm sure you'll do great.

[LeBron]

Congrats on your win Talley! You're someone who can definitely be trusted and will be a great successor!

On a side note, your win was arguably the biggest Labor pickup on election day since Labor will now hold a majority of the Governorships. Pretty awesome.

I think winning the presidency was pretty important too

I have officially sworn in as Governor of the Northeast. I would like to thank outgoing Governor Dallasfan and the outgoing Assembly for a very productive session, and hope that this one can follow in their footsteps.

This will simply enforce what is already stated in the Constitution, and allow the Governor more time to focus on the Assembly (while adding a measure of impartiality to our elections)

Napoleon is currently one of the two most senior representatives, and with SWE likely to be Speaker, I see no reason for him not to continue in his current post.

Bills


I have introduced two bills into the queue.

Congratulations on taking office!

Electoral and Game Reforms are a favorite topic of mine, and I'm very happy with the changes you have proposed.  The recent Assembly elections has shown that the present body is simply too large to have competitive elections and to yield an active membership.

[Napoleon]

Thank you for your trust, Governor.

[Barnes]

Sorry for the double post, but I only now noticed this.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Deus's vote seems to have been cast after the official close of the poll at 11:59 PM EST on 22 June.

Dallasfan, SWE, and I were discussing this earlier, and we came to the conclusion that since Dallas opened the booth 33 minutes late, Deus's vote falls narrowly in the 72 hour period the booth was open, so it should still be valid. Although maybe a court case couldn't hurt activity in the region.

I was of a similar opinion myself regarding the late opening.

On second thought, a court case would be fun...

Glad to hear it.

CJO Opening

With CJO Averroes leaving to become SoEA, we will be in need of a new Chief Judicial Officer. This person should preferably be a Northeast citizen for at least several months now, with a good working knowledge of regional law, and the ability to remain mostly active. They will also have to be available to open all voting booths in the region. I have already spoken to two candidates; if anyone else is interested please contact me.

Note that I am looking for someone who will be able to serve for at least a majority of the six month term. If you plan to run for another office soon, you would be better off not applying.

[Napoleon]

Dr. Cynic!
